In Depth Appearance Wyatt’s 6’2 frame is lean and athletic, he generally has a moderate tan, especially in the summer, and the more time in the sun the lighter his hair tends to get. His dirty blonde hair is normally strategically disheveled and he usually maintains some amount of stubble; without it he has too much of a baby face and his fake ID gets looked at too closely. He has light green eyes, full of life and excitement and a friendly smile, most of the time. As far as his personal style goes he tries to keep a balance between looking like his clothes are expensive brands while also looking like he doesn’t really care about fashion. He gravitates towards high end jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, and jackets. In addition to clothes Wyatt also has a huge collection of sneakers and quite a few watches. Although he tends to dress very casually he also has several nicer outfits and suits when he needs them.

EntitledWyatt is and always has been a very extroverted and outgoing person. He gets along well with most people, he can talk with just about anyone, and generally enjoys getting to know people. He’s always loved being in the spotlight, which is what drew him to acting, and his ultimate goal is to make a name for himself that’s completely separate from his family’s fame. He has a constant craving for an adrenaline rush, and coupled with his inclination for impulsiveness make doing stupid, daredevil like stunts a second nature for him. He’s also more than willing to just about anything to cheer a friend up or to make a pretty girl smile. One of Wyatt’s favorite things to do is test limits; get himself into trouble just to see what wealth, status, and his own charisma can get him out of and to see how much he can get away with. He has a rebellious spirit, always challenging authority often just for the sake of being adversarial.
Wyatt is incredibly loyal to anyone he cares about, but especially to his siblings. Growing up wealthy and somewhat spoiled Wyatt doesn’t really value money, he just naturally assumes it will be there and is far from fiscally responsible. His warped perception of money also makes him incredibly generous; he constantly uses his parent’s money one people he likes, not to impress them, but because if buy something for someone will make them happier than why not do it. He’s never really worked a day in his life, and doesn’t really care for anything that’s too difficult. A lot of things have come easy for him, athleticism, popularity, and even acting, which while they took some work it was also fun. Things that take hard work though, things that aren’t also fun; Wyatt quickly losses interest and decides it’s not worth his effort.
Wyatt puts a lot of importance on things like status and appearance which leads to his shallow and arrogant tendencies. While he sometimes tries to keep these in check he does frequently judge people based on how the look and dress. He also has a very high opinion of himself, considering himself to be the next great movie star, and he cares a lot about what other people think of him. Wyatt carefully constructs his look, trying to find the perfect balance between looking like he doesn’t care about his looks while also looking like he has money and is well put together. He’s almost always confidant, it takes a lot to shake him or to make him nervous.
Wyatt, like many teenagers, really sees himself as invincible, he likes excitement and adventure and tends to be very reckless. He doesn’t usually think before he acts or speaks but doesn’t have any hang ups about apologizing if he was wrong, at least when it comes to friends, but when it comes to his parents he’s more hesitant to admit when he’s wrong. He’s an optimistic dreamer who believes he can do anything and is quick to follow his every whim but also lazy when things are too much work, refusing to put effort into anything that’s not immediately fun. At his best Wyatt has a warm and friendly energy, he’s quick to include people, and is an honest and loyal friend. At his worse he’s another spoiled, entitled, rich boy. He can be brash, vain, and lacking tact.
HistoryBorn the second child, and eldest son, of Jared and Selena Hollingsworth, Wyatt has always enjoyed the wealth, privilege, and status of his family. When it comes to possessions and material things he always had everything he could ever want and then some. However, as a child he always felt in competition with his siblings for his parent’s attention so eventually he focused on getting attention from everyone else around him. He did everything he could to stand out, involving himself in sports and theater as ways to focus the spotlight on himself. He wanted to be exceptional at whatever he did and with anything he wasn’t immediately good at, like academics, he decided wasn’t important; why waste his time on things he’s not good at.
Sports were his first love; Wyatt thrived as the star of his little league team the attention and admiration of his peers was almost like a drug and to see his parents in the stands cheering him on, when they had the time to make it to a game, was even better. He continued with baseball as he got older as well as trying his hand at soccer, swimming, football, and tennis but by the time he hit high school his main focus was on lacrosse. However, Wyatt always knew that while he was good with most sports and loved competition professional level was never going to be for him. So, while being the star attacker for his high school lacrosse team brought him popularity he began to shift more of his focus on theatre during his junior year.
Acting was always fun for Wyatt, staring as the big bad wolf in his elementary school’s production of The Three Little Pig’s was where it all began. As a child, being praised for his ability to play pretend was great and being on stage, with everyone in the room completely focused on whatever he said or did made him sure that this was something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. The level of fame giving to the major movie stars is what Wyatt craves, he wants people to know his name, to be internationally recognized in a way that has nothing to do with his family and everything to do with him alone.
His parents prevented him from becoming a child actor, though if he had his way it would’ve certainly been the path he would have chosen. Instead they have constantly tried to get him to focus on school and academics, with his father especially wanting him to end up working within the family business and to stop focusing on “pipe dreams.” Wyatt hates both wine and the idea of spending his adult life doing something as mundane as helping run the family business, no matter how profitable that business, is a fate worse than death in his eyes.
Wyatt has also spent most of his life getting into trouble; vandalism, pulling pranks, skipping, and more recently using and selling recreational drugs. Partially for the adventure of the experience and partially to see just how much he can get away with. He’s used to his parent’s status and wealth getting him out of any trouble he gets into and has come to expect that; Wyatt doesn’t worry about consequences and just subconsciously seems himself above them. Whenever his parents were away he always took the opportunity to throw huge parties, he loves being surrounded by happy people having a good time and his parties made it easy for him to make friends with those his parents would call “the wrong sort.”
Although Wyatt always looks forward to spending time with the other children of Rosefell, he also knows his parents are hoping spending the summer away from his school friends, the “bad influences,” will keep him out of trouble for a couple months. Normally they write off his bad behavior as typically teenage rebellion that he needs to get out of his system but more recently they have tried a sterner approach, specifically after his near expulsion from his high school featuring him and a friend getting high and hitting golf balls off the roof of the school during 3rd period. His spending habits, his drug use, the drinking, partying, trouble at school, his abysmal SAT scores, and his refusal to take going to college seriously have driven a wedge between his parents and him. The harder they push the more he rebels and he’s already more than decided to find ways to get into trouble in Rosefell this year.
